1. 1. Aerodynamic assessment of velopharyngeal function in speech

   Författare :Hans Dotevall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Speech production measurements; speech aerodynamics; velopharyngeal function; nasal airflow; perceptual speech evaluation; hypernasality; cleft palate speech; sleep disordered breathing; snoring; sleep apnea;

   Sammanfattning : Velopharyngeal function in speech was assessed by aerodynamic techniques, which were developed and tested. Temporal and dynamic characteristics of the nasal airflow pattern during the velopharyngeal closing phase in speech were studied in different patient groups. Its validity in relation to listener's perceptual evaluation of speech was analyzed. LÄS MER

3. 2. Articulation and velopharyngeal function in patients with cleft lip and/or palate : Outcome predictors

   Författare :Åsa Okhiria; Daniel Nowinski; Yvonne Wren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cleft lip and palate; cleft width; cleft type; surgical technique; articulation; velopharyngeal function; international adoption;

   Sammanfattning : Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital craniofacial malformation, requiring multidisciplinary treatment, including surgery and often speech therapy. Palatal surgery restores the anatomical barrier between the oral and nasal cavities as well as the palatal function needed for normal speech. LÄS MER

4. 3. Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate : Speech, Voice and Nasal Function in Adults

   Författare :Staffan Morén; Maria Mani; Mats Holmström; Per-åke Lindestad; Göran Laurell; Magnus Becker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adult; Cleft Lip; Cleft Palate; Cross-Sectional Studies; Control Groups; Dysphonia; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Nasal Obstruction; Nose Deformities; Otolaryngology; Quality of Life; Reconstructive Surgical Procedures methods; Retrospective Studies; Treatment Outcome; Voice Quality; Acoustic; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; Oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial malformation. Even after repair of the cleft there may be persistent symptoms affecting speech, voice, nasal breathing, dentition, appearance and quality of life. LÄS MER

5. 4. Speech and velopharyngeal function in patients with hypernasality : an investigation utilizing listener judgments, instrumental analysis (NORAM), multiview videoradiography and nasopharyngoscopy

   Författare :Jonas Karling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :cleft lip andor cleft palate; cleft palate speech; hypernasality; instrumental analysis; lateral pharyngeal wall movements; listener judgment; mouth breathing; nasal emission; nasopharyngoscopy; oronasal fistula; pharyngeal flap; presurgical orthoped;

   Sammanfattning : This investigation evaluated how velopharyngeal function and speech deficiencies related to velo pharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) were influenced by a) type of cleft, b) site and size of oronasal fistulas and c) pharyngeal flaps. In addition, the accelerometric device, NORAM was evaluated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Speech outcome in children born with cleft lip and palate treated with one-stage palate repair : aspects of function and environment

   Författare :Jill Nyberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: This project focused on speech outcomes at 5 and 10 years of age after two different surgical protocols and on peer perceptions of speech in children born with cleft palate. The aim was to gain knowledge about speech outcome in children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) or cleft palate only (CPO), treated with one-stage palatoplasty at approximately 12 months of age, according to two different surgical protocols: minimal incision technique (MIT) and minimal incision technique with muscle reconstruction (MITmr).
